I'm sorry that you conspiracy theorists have your delusions, but it was a simple redirect exploit. You can say it was the government if you want, but our users were sent to a site with a message by Anonymous. We stopped it as soon as we could, although it did last many hours. Many VBulletin sites were hit that day at the same time. Our Admin is not incompetent, we do back-ups daily. As it happened, the hack occurred during a back-up procedure and that screwed things up. Rollie went back 3 weeks as a precaution, because some sites had the redirect code dormant for some time. We got the site back up as best as we could, and have been trying to restore everything and fix the glitches. It's a shame that some still have to criticize everything.

Thank you , that makes a lot more sense. The explanation on the support page was total shit whoever wrote it, I am sorry just seemed disingenuous reading it from a sys admin's viewpoint, but you know PR people have to write like that. Next time you will have to skype or call me or something I could of cleaned and secured it in an hour or so but makes sense if the owner was freaking out cause the sites down. Should have never restored it back a whole month but oh well I guess shit happens and what is done is done. too late now.
